Go to Add/Remove Programs. Look for Comet or Starware. Uninstall it/them if
they are listed.
Otherwise, follow these steps to remove Comet DMServer from your machine:
Begin by backing up your registry and your system to prevent trouble if you
make a mistake.
Read this:
HOW TO: Backup, Edit, and Restore the Registry in Windows 95, Windows 98,
and Windows Me (Q322754)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;Q322754
-->
Run regedit then go To the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If you find the value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run\dm_server,
delete it and reboot the machine immediately.
Reboot to Safe Mode and delete these files:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SS\DMPROXY.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SS\DMSERVER.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cssecure.dll
C:\Program Files\Comet Systems\DM\bin\dmserver.exe
C:\Program Files\Comet Systems\DM\bin\dmproxy.dll
You should be able to delete everything in the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder. Also
empty Temporary Internet Files folder. With all hidden files set to
visible, do a search of dmproxy.dll, dmserver.exe and cssecure.dll in your
whole drive. Delete them if you find them.
Remove the whole Comet folder.

It may freeze, it may not even boot, or you may not be able to get online.
Any of that is possible.

Subject: XP activation question
I have apparently used my copy of XP too many times. I remember there
is a file one can copy from an old installation into the new one, thus
obviating the need to reactivate the new copy.
Would someone please point me to the post which describes this process?
Thanking you in advance I remain,
Your Humble Servant,

EllBee, I think Steve might be thinking of this message which I posted:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mycomputerheadaches/message/21506
The tip I described in that message applies only to XP installations that
have already been activated previously.
However, if you are coming from an XP that is a pirated version which has
never been activated and now you want to go legit, the article that you
posted is an excellent one to help a would-be XP-user activator. It should
be copied by everyone who might be considering activating their XP in the
future. Great contribution, EllBee.

Subject: Auto-backing up IE's Favorites
QUOTE:
There's no way of automatically making copies of your Favourites.
UNQUOTE
I beg to disagree. Of course, I could be wrong. Without using any of the
following tools, my research produced the following:
There are two or 3 ways to auto-copy your IE Favorites.
1. You can BookmarkSync
http://www.sync2it.com/
2. SyncMarks nonetheless offers many ways to import and export bookmarks
between Firefox and IE. SyncMarks can automatically synchronize Firefox's
bookmarks with IE's favorites on the same machine when you start or exit
Firefox. In addition, the program can write either an HTML or an XML
version of the faves file locally. Free. BTW, SyncMarks is a Firefox
extension. Of course, it's a given that you have to have Firefox installed.
:)
Download SyncMarks from here & by the way, do your downloading using
Firefox so you can install it directly:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/extensions/syncmarks/
3. FavoriteSync is another Firefox extension you can use. It can be found
here:

http://www.favoritesync.com/fs/faces/jsf/content/index.jsp
Forum support
http://www.favoritesync.com/forum/mvnforum/listforums
If you are using Firefox, you can sync your bookmarks to an FTP server:

There should be a "Favorites" folder in Explorer. It is current, and can be
copied to where ever you want it.
I did a drag & drop copy of my Favorites to my Jump dr and carry it with me
in case I need one of my sites to aid in repair/cleanup of a students
machine.

Subject: move favorites
Here is another idea. Instead of just adding your bookmarks to either
Firefox's Bookmarks or IE's Favorites, why don't you open an account at
these superb bookmarks sites which offers personalized bookmarking service
that you can access at any computer anywhere:
1. Spurl.net
http://spurl.net/
I super love this site.
2. Del.icio.us
http://del.icio.us/
Sounds delicious, doesn't it? Well it is!!! Check it out!
3. Google also has a feature where you can store your searches and
bookmarks.

Hi Harley..
I would think it would be easier to simply add your Favorites folder to
your backup procedure. It would only have to be added once.

I would like to have a file in "my documents" that every time I added a
site to "my favorites" it would add it to that file also. Is this possible?
I want to make sure when I back up I have all of my favorites backed up
also.
